Reviews

James Suckling 93

Almonds, baked pears, salted caramel and bread dough on the nose of this delicious sparkling. It's medium-bodied with silky, fine bubbles and delicious nutty and pastry flavors that evolve to a long, elegant finish with salty and mineral undertones. 86% chardonnay, 13% pinot nero and 1% pinot bianco.

Wine Spectator 93

An elegant Franciacorta, with the refined, pointillismlike mousse, well-honed acidity and subtle streak of salinity framing flavors of poached white cherry, yellow plum, Meyer lemon peel and pickled ginger, plus a touch of toasted brioche. Hints of smoke, oyster shell and spices play on the lingering finish. Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco.

Technical Details

Estate

This estate makes Italy's finest sparkling wines from the Franciacorta zone in a natural amphitheatre. The glacial soil is full of stones, and provides the ideal environment for the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes used in the production of their Franciacorta. Bellavista, meaning 'beautiful view' in Italian, was founded by Vittorio Moretti in the early 1970s, with the first vintage produced in 1979. In 1981, he met a young winemaker, Mattia Vezzola and this partnership transformed Bellavista into Italy's leading producer of quality sparkling wine.

Tasting notes

Alma Assemblage 1 is a new cuvée, created to express Bellavista’s most authentic vision of Franciacorta. It marks a new chapter, blending tradition and innovation through a meticulous selection of vineyards and vintages. Bright and refined, it reveals floral and citrus notes on the nose, with a creamy texture and a fresh, mineral finish. A vibrant, harmonious wine that captures the soul of its land.
